  2. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is biotechnology? Bio = life techno = tools ology = the study of

  3. Definition: Biotechnology is the use of living organisms, their products or parts (such as protein, DNA or RNA) to make useful products.

  4. Examples: vaccines, genetically modified foods and animals, pharmaceuticals (drugs) such as insulin and growth hormone.

  5. NO. Humans have been breeding crops and domesticating animals for thousands of years! (10,000 C.E. – 4,000 C.E.) Is Biotechnology a new science? Yes and No…

  6. People have been baking bread, making cheese, yogurt and brewing alcoholic beverages. (2000 C.E.)

  7. Yes.Since the discovery of DNA, biotechnology has involved the use and manipulation of DNA, RNA and proteins for the development of genetically modified foods, animals, vaccines and other drugs.

  8. 1600 C.E. -1700 C.E. The microscope is discovered. Leeuwenhoek describes protozoa and bacteria.

  9. 1700 C.E. - 1800 C.E. 1797 Edward Jenner inoculates child with smallpox vaccine.

  10. 1800 C.E. - 1850 C.E. Cell Theory 1838-1839 Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schawnn state: Plants and animals are made up of cells. 1855 Rudolph Virchow states: cells come from cells.

  11. 1850 C.E. - 1900 C.E. 1861 Louis Pasteur proposes the “Germ Theory,” pasteurization and discovers the rabies vaccine (1885). 1859 Charles Darwin writes “The Origin of Species” and proposes the Theory of Evolution. 1863 Gregor Mendel discovers principles of how traits are passed from parents to offspring.

  12. 1900 C.E. - 1950 C.E. 1915 –Thomas Hunt Morgan studied fruit flies and proposed that chromosomes carry genes. 1917 – the first time the word “biotechnology” is used. 1928 - Alexander Fleming discovers the antibiotic penicillin – a mold. 1944 - Avery, MacLeod and McCarty discover DNA is the genetic material.

  13. 1950 C.E. - 1970 C.E. 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick describe the structure of DNA. In 1962, they win the Nobel Prize.

  14. 1960's C.E. Adult Stem Cell Research

  15. 1970 - Present Biotech Revolution April 19, 1971

  16. 1970 C.E. - 1980 C.E. 1973 Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer Cut and paste bacteria and human genes DNA - Recombinant DNA Science U.S. Department of Energy Human Genome Program, http://www.ornl.gov/hgmis. http://inventors.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://web.mit.edu/invent/iow/boyercohen.html

  17. 1974 Word “nanotechnology” is coined by Norio Tanihuchi of Japan Viruses are biological “nanobots.” They range in size between 20 – 200 nanometers. Nano - means “dwarf” the prefix nano means a billionth or 10-9 Tech- tools ology- study of http://www.swbic.org/

  18. Definition: Nanotechologymanipulates atoms and molecules whose size range from 1-100 nanometers. Special microscopes can see very small objects, molecules and atoms.

  19. April 18, 1977 July 31, 1978 http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19770418,00.html

  20. 1978 http://www.allrefer.com/pictures/s4/p0013051-genetic-engineering

  21. 1980 C.E. - 1990 C.E. 1981 Transgenic mice. Mice carry human genes that help scientists test how genes work.

  22. March 9, 1981 Genentech launches commercialization of genetically engineered products.

  23. 1982 FDA patent approved to use genetically engineered insulin.

  24. 1986 FDA approves the first genetically engineered vaccine -hepatitis B http://www.fotosearch.com/IMG015/42-16341203/

  25. 1990 C.E. - 2000 C.E.

  26. 1990 Human Genome Project Project launched to map all of the human chromosomes Genetic Science Learning Center, University of Utah, permission for educational use http://gslc.genetics.utah.edu.

  27. New Fields of Study Emerge Bioinformatics: The use of computers, mathematical analysis and technology to study biological information. Proteomics: The study of how proteins function in the body.

  28. 1990 FDA approves first genetically modified food substance- a recombinantenzyme called chymosinmade from genetically modified yeast. Chymosin is used for making cheese. Rennet (natural) comes from suckling calves stomachs.

  29. November 8, 1993

  30. 1994 . Flavr Savr Tomato FDA approved first genetically modified food. The tomato was resistant to rotting and could ripen on the vine longer.
